AN ALL-ROUND REVIEW...

The Marquis Curzch, responding, said Central Asia appealed "to the scientist, the naturalist the ethnologist. and the antiquarian; it appealed to the sense, nt service and of duty more than did any corresponding area on the globe. Speak ing of the extent of Central Asia, he said we might argue that the Turkish ques tion was a European question, but as we went eastward, we found it was an Asian

question. So also Chipa, associated with the Far East, was a grant Central Asian Power and force. Therefore we had to deal with a political and not a geo graphical Central Asia. Turkey was making experiments in independence, and hostility to the outside world. The old Turkey had gone, and whereas a quarter of a century ago the man who said that anybody who touched the Caliph or the temporal power of the Sultan would hava be effected with scarcely a murmur. 12 Basic the Tsar and imperialism had gone, and the country had crumbled away to a miserable collection of furtive Re mblies brought together under the agis of the Soviet Government. That was tiot only a change, but a deplorable disaster, because whether we approved of the Rus sian rapire or not, at any rate there was stability, cohesion, and strength, whereas now there were a number of jarring atoms crushed under the beel of a relent less despotism (Hear, hear.)

PARKIN SHOULD APOLOGISE. Allling to the unfortunate criticism by Parkin in a Sunday newspaper of the. management of the howling by the Eng- land captain in the recent Test match, the Editor of the fricketer (Mr. P. F. Warner) writes:

Loyalty to one's captain and_one's) comrades. is the beginning and end of a cricketer's creed, and when we find an England playerso grossly infringing every rule of courtesy, common sense, and discipline, it is surely time to enter the strongest possible protest. We can- not imagine what induced Parkin to place himself "in"such an unfortunate position. He is a pleasant, amusing, and popular cricketer, int he has now put himself out- side the pale of any surt of representa- tive cricket. We do not, of course, know what action the Committee of the Lanca- shind C.C.C. will take, but we do know what course Parkin should allopt.
